  Decent wine for the value but not a great finish - drank at Rose Angeli's

  Highly recommended on CT I was actually a bit disappointed having tried other vintages like 2010 as well as the Petit Syrah. Deep garnet colors with nuts and fruit on the nose and traces of anise and coffee on the palate. Perhaps the bottle was a little tight as the acid seemed high for a central California Zinfandel. Good restaurant price point but I would request the 2010 or defer to 2012.

  Transparent violet/ruby appearance. On the lighter side of mid-bodied, with notes of blackberries, blueberries, brambles, oak, and vanilla. No discernible finish. This is a crowd pleaser and definitely better served at room temperature.

  Garnet color, almost transparent. on the nose a burst of bright peppered cherries. ripe strawberries. on the palate, smooth fruit-led flavors (strawberry puree) and some coffee and spice. med+ acidity, oak-driven tannins (med plus) lip smacking strawberry finish. grapes destemmed and crushed and must sent to tanks for three day cold soak, allowing primary extraction where water acts asa solvent and breaks down the cell walls of the grape solids, extracting flavors, color, and aromas. feremntors drained and returned three times, resulting in more extracting than just pumping over the tanks. gentle pressing, wine aged in combination of Hungarian french, and american oak for 16 months. clove and vanilla flavors. plums and juicy blackberries.
